"Crazy is the best thing to be around here....." Gracie mused with a big grin as she looked up at him. She didn't mind being crazy to be honest, as long as they didn't try to lock her up in St. Mungos. "Psh. My fingers don't hurt..." She murmured, wiggling them a little as she looked up at him. "Not much anyway..." She continued grinning at him.

Gracie was really excited about being a YATI to be honest. It was something she thought about a lot. "Yup... He's pretty cool." And had made Gracie's mind up that she did want to be an auror. The girl sighed, contently. She was happy. "I hope so too... but I gotta get in first"

Oliver was just about to leave and head back to the castle when he heard footsteps on the bridge. He had told himself that he was going to try to make more friends this year since the whole debacle with Kali and Cordy in May.

He was thinking the best way to talk to the random person before even looking up. He'd have to hide his shyness if he was going to make friends with anyone. Eventually, the person went right up to him and...leaned on the rail? Okay??? Not that he minded, but what if Oliver wanted to be alone and this person was just...in his personal bubble? It was weird.

Looking over at him, Oliver quickly realized Brian was the person next to him...and he looked extremely tired. Oops. And then came the very slow hey. He held in a laugh and smiled. "Hi, Brian. Have a good run?" He felt bad for not meeting up with the boy, but sleeping in was so much better.

Scared and worried? "Why are you scared and worried? It's just a bridge, it's alright to walk or run on." Bradson nodded, would that make her feel better or was she afraid of heights or afraid of it breaking? "How can I help you?"

Bradson smiled and nodded at her. "Nice to meet you too, Azura." He had to remember that, her name. Although with her color eyes he had a feeling he wouldn't forget her name.

"Why hasn't he taught you yet?" The Scottish boy asked her. His favorite genre of music? Oh that was just way too easy of a question to ask him. "Rock, maybe some pop music but rock is far better than pop music." Sometimes pop music would annoy him and give him a headache with how dumb some of the lyrics were.

Austin was very unsure about what to do. On one hand, this could be some innocent first year who wanted to have fun. Maybe explore the grounds, or even roam the halls. Which was something most first years wanted to do. He himself did the same thing when he first got to Hogwarts.

But on the other hand, this could be some ghost of the forbidden forest. Maybe she was the one who took people in there and lead them to their deaths. Is this who took Gregoire to the forest? There was no way he was going in the forest. There were spiders in there. Giant ones. And he didn't deal with spiders.

Pulling out his wand from his holster, he cautiously followed the girl.

Azura gave the slightest shrug.. "I was worried about my friend and then I pushed on the boards with my foot and they creaked a little, so then I got scared about walking further on it.. plus I heard.. someone died here." She wasn't sure if THAT was true or not.. but with her clumsiness.. she didn't want to chance it!

She gave a slight smile.. "I guess it is safe.. but I think I might feel better if you walked over it with me? Please?" She asked him.. that way.. if there was trouble, they could help each other out.. and not die.

It was a good plan in her mind!

She smiled at him as he said it was nice to meet her! She hoped it was! Though currently she seemed like a scared worried girl!

"We haven't found the time, he's been a bit busy since he's gotten here." She said with a bit of a half smile.. It's why she was worried in the first place, Jazzy hadn't had much time for her..

She nodded as he spoke about rock music, she could see his point.. "Do you have a favorite song you like to play?" She asked him curiously.

Spencer heard a familiar voice and looked up and seen Hope and smiled brightly at her. "Hey Beautiful, how are you this fine and beautiful day?"said Spencer giving her a soft warm smile. Spencer blushed and smiled. "Thanks, I try to make it as realistic as possible, as if the pperson who's looking at it was there. " said Spencer simply. Spencer bbelieved that color was everything in a drawing or painting, it showed so much emotions and feelings just looking at the colors, obviously this drawing was bbright and happy. Although if you look at Spencer's drawings he had drawings from happy to sad, but lately his drawings been happy and full of life, since he met Hope they been that way.


Spencer noticed she was reading a book and looked up from his drawing curiousof the book she was reading. "What are you reading? "Spencer asked her. Spencer read books as well, he loved mystery books and fictional books, he read these books the most for they were the most interesting to him. Although Spencer was a Gryffindor at heart, he had bits of every house in him, but then he thought that everyone did. Even if they didn't want to admit it, everyone had pieces of every house in them.

Hope smiled at him as she looked up from her book. She looked at the beautiful view in front of her and also at the view before her, aka Spencer. She gave him a huge smile. [B]" its a very beautiful day. I love this view and of course the view of the grounds."[\B] she laughed.

Spencer made her very happy. Even though some things in her life was a mess she knew that Spence would be there for her and always made her smile.

Looking back at his drawing, which he had completed more of she just sighed. It really was like she could jump into the picture and be right there. [B]"You do exceptional work. What are Going to do for your designs for the GRYFFINDOR stuff?"[\B] she was referring to what he had suggested at the house meeting.

[B]"I'm reading a series called [I]Caged[\I]. It's supernatural fiction. It's about a girl who learns she's a special kind of werewolf and her life after her blindness subsides and she turns into a werewolf. It's pretty interesting."[\B] she smiled at him. [B]"I love fictional books that are about supernatural stuff. It intrigues me."[\B]

Bradson listened to what the girl was saying and then he shook his head at her. "I'm sure the wood was just settling under your weight and as for the death part goes, people might just be trying to scare us first years into not want to hangout around the grounds." He knew that older students and older siblings would do that, he had heard a lot of stories from his uncles and his aunt.

The first year smiled and nodded to her. "I'd hope that any of the adults at Hogwarts would allow it to be open for students to walk on if it wasn't safe. Yeah?" Bradson gave her a warm smile.

"I'm sure that he will have time for you soon but I don't think there's been a lot of homework at the moment so it should be fine for him to hang out with you."

Brady shrugged. He hadn't really thought about that. The eleven year old also hadn't been asked that question before. "Paint It Black by The Rolling Stones." He wasn't a Stones fan but he like the tune of the song.

Settling under her feet, that made.. a lot of sense actually. She probably should have thought about that, but something about the creaking made her freak out a little. "I don't know why I didn't think of that myself." Azura mused thoughtfully. "But both of your statements make complete and total sense! I wouldn't put it past older students to do that to first years!" She said with a shake of her head.. Oh Older students.. always trying to pick on the younger ones! At least most of the older kids she had met were pretty nice..

"Again that makes a lot of sense, I guess my fear was blinding me.. and if it wasn't safe, there would probably be charms everywhere to make sure nothing would happen to us if we fall." Like that dang wall in charms!!

She smiled warmly at Brady.. "Thank you, I don't think I'm scared anymore." Who knew what a bit of common sense could do?

Azura nodded, "I hope so! I haven't seen him around lately, but he's probably off drawing or something like that." She hoped so at least, she really hoped their disaster at the pathways didn't mess anything up!

Her purple eyes focused on her fellow first year and she smiled at his choice. "I know that song.. It's sad.. but it does have a good beat."

"My Aunt Katlas always said that sometimes our fears take over and he no longer have common sense or he aren't able to think straight." Bradson looked at her an shrugged, Brady sure did have a lot of wisdom to give away to this girl, he had a feeling that he should have been put in Ravenclaw but really let's think about it how well would that have worked out? He knew that some of them are know it alls and he wasn't too fond of those types of people. "I don't know why they would do that either. Maybe there's something about us first years that scream that the older students have to mess around with us and make fun of us." That wasn't going to happen to Brady Somerhalder, not today and not ever, he was going to make sure of it.

"Are you sure you're not scared?" He had to ask just to make sure. Bradson shrugged. "That doesn't mean that he can't go and hangout with you. Like I wouldn't ignore my best friend for anything, not even playing music all day long." It was true. Bradson cared about his best friend.

She'd been out for a walk. The English autumn air was fresh, and clean, and after a long morning cooped up inside the Transfiguration Professor had needed a break from the indoors. It was so different here from Japan, and from America. The air even tasted different.

Playing idly with the collar of her sweater, Nana made herself content watching the scenery around her, taking it all in and getting some much needed peace and quiet. Merlin knew it rarely lasted in this school.

Wrapping herself in Gryffindor scarf and her favorite jumper, Ava decided to take a walk around the grounds. She really enjoyed the breezy weather of autumn, it was her favorite season ever. Well, she just loved any kind of weather as long as it wasn't thunderstorms and it's nice enough to play outside, or just having a walk around.

Hands in her pockets, the Gryffindor walked passing the wooden bridge. She observed around if there's something interesting that watch worthy or maybe found a friend that she could have a nice chat with. Oh look, wasn't that the new transfiguration Professor? Ava was still unhappy to know that Professor Beatrice didn't teach her anymore. She was such a cool and fun woman, but maybe this Professor too. She seemed chilled and... Cool too. "Good day, Professor Ichihara." She greeted the woman.

Azura nodded as Brady spoke, that sounded about right.. "I do that a bit too much I think. I'll just be standing there, thinking about something and before you know it.. I've thought myself into a panic, when there was nothing to freak out about." Over thinking.. Gotta love it..

Not actually. Curse her Ravenclaw Brain. What was it like to be a Hufflepuff? Was it happy there?

She smiled a bit at his words, "It's probably because we are little, apparenly being small means that we are easy targets!" She said with a shake of her head. "When I'm older, I'm going to help all the younger kids!" Yup, that was exactly what she was going to do! Not make fun of them at all.

And she would warn them to stay off the scary bridge!

Azure nodded, "I think I'm all right now, thank you Brady.. for the dose of common sense.. I need that sometimes." She said with a smile at him.

She blamed the fwoopers in her head for her silliness.

She sighed at his words. "It sounds like you are a very good best friend to have." Her purple eyes shone warmly at him.

Raven half running and half walking... after Peeves yelling at the library, he didn't realize he was walking out the library to The Wooden brigde? as he was mumbling cursing words to Peeves

He was so angry that he forget he left Jessie behind... still at the Library

He didn't know when did he arrived there, he take a look around, left and right over and over for a few times, how did he get here? huh? very confused face appears

He walked to the right side of the bridge and lay his back on.. he sighed.. take breath and try to calm himself, he looked at to the thick book he was carrying.. Oh Great..

He wiped his face rough, noticing the mess he was made.. he took another look around and his heart beat start to calm as he was seeing the view

Failed to found her transfigurations book, Jessie decided to leaving the library.

She wasn't in the good mood.Maybe it'll good if she meet the poltergeist on the way. Maybe she could throws something to Peeves to shut him up.

Walking aimlessly the gryffindor girl drowning in her thought. Where she want to go?


She could go to the greenhouse, meet her favourite professor and help him watering the plants again. But wait! No! What if Jaemin also in there?

Jessie's sure that her mood will turn worse.

Then she remember about Mr. Badge,Henric. Where was he? Busy with his duties as a Hufflepuff prefect? She doesn't want to bother him.

And Jessie also in no mood to exploring Hogwarts. So she decided to went back to the Gryffindor tower. It would be great to meet her roomate. Robin always good at make her calm.

Then here she was. The wooden bridge. She felt a cool breeze touching her face. And then she stop deadly in her track.

Raven is also here... the one who left her alone in the library....

He stare down to his shoes, and take a long deep breath.. he is much better now.. he is turn his sight to the book he's holding, another sighed.... he will return the books later... he was thinking about Jessie, how fool he was
for leaving the girl and forgot about her.. they're just dating!

he's hoping that Jessie is run after him.. but no.. how can that possible, a girl chase a boy?

he needs to do something.. he need to go back to library now.. he need to apologize to Jessie..

he rise up, stand steadily and ready to say his sorry to Jessie..

as he was turning his body to the earlier path he was coming.. there she is.. he saw her! Jessie

he smiled, and walk to her.. approached her fast.. half running half walking...

Jessie raised one of her eyebrow. She's looking at her new boyfriend walking toward her.

Jessie tilting her head a little.Her pout turning into slight grin when an idea appeared in her head.


"What? Jessie asked when Raven is right in front of her. "Do you remember about something,honey?"

Jessie whispered dangerously. As fast as lights she pulled out her new wand.

"I've never been using this wand. Maybe I need to check if it would work or not? Wanna help me to check it,Raven?

Jessie stare at Raven's eyes, twisting her wand in front of her face playfuly.

"Hmmm... let me think.Which spell would fit with this 10 1/3 bendy laurel with unicorn hair?"

the gryffindor girl snorted before pointing her wand at Raven's nose.

"Scourgify!"

Jessie laughing at the expression in the boy's face. No! She will never using dangerous spell to the boy. To her lover.

But she likes to tease Raven a lot.

"You must thank me after help you clean the dirt in the tip of your nose,Raven,Hahahaha..."

Jessie held the wand and her stomach with one of her hand while the other wiped the tears in her eyes.

"Hahahaha... you must see at your face right now."

when he was just in front of Jessie, before saying any words at all, he was shocked with what Jessie do to him, he was standing with a blank stare... this Gryffindor girl is really unpredictable...

but Raven relieved when Jessie didn't get mad at him..

he bowed his head as he was clean his nose with his index finger, not only cleaning his nose but also to hide his blushing face.. he did get a surprise when Jessie suddenly pulling her wand out.. he want to say his apologize to her, but before that Raven thought of something as a payback.. secretly he sneak out his wand.. a smirk while he was bowed his head "Snufflitors"

now... he start to watch Jessie reaction, and smile cunningly.. apparently this Slytherin boy didn't like to lose.. as he was sneaky and cunning enough when he was demand his payback

Jessie... you mess with the wrong boy he grins and watched how the girl is panic, and he start chuckles with so annoying tone..

"Reparifarge" he stop laughing... and smile innocently like nothing happen... "Jessie... i'm sorry"

Spencer smiled. "It's a very beautiful day, what a pity it won't be like this for long. said Spencer. Spencer loved the beaut view that was around them, there was so many beautiful places around Hogwarts and Hope that his creative juices started to flow through him.


Hope meant alot to him, he cared about her more then anything, and there was nothing that he wouldn't do for her. He did anything to make her smile and happy, even if it was foolish and silly, as long as it made her happy and smile he was happy.


Spencer smiled. "Why thanks beautiful, I do try to make my drawings the life lik , but it coming from you means alot."said Spencer giving her a soft warm smile. "I'm glad that you asked me, what do you think that about this?" Spencer asked her as he handed her his drawing he did. "I thought it was quite cool looking, but I didn't know. said Spencer.

"Sounds like a good book I would enjoy I love supernatural stuff, I wasmade fun by my so called old muggle ffriends for read stuff like that. "said Spencer. "I love reading supernatural books and sci-fi books.said Spencer. "I also love fictional books as well, I just love reading."said Spencer.

Ilia didn't know what was wrong with her today. It was like she woke up on the wrong side of the bed, her mood was set to aggravated lately. When she wasn't in robes she was wearing her dragon hoodie and all black clothing, it just felt better. People were crazy and she hardly had time with Henric, emotions were just.....hard. She felt a walk was in order to clear her head, inside she felt like the looming sky. Dark, pendulous, and brooding. Her letter from her mother was in her hand as she headed to the bridge, hopefully no one was around.

The sky started crying and hurling its tears at the ground as she reached her familiar hide out. A small , quiet, unoccupied center of bridge where she could burn the letter in peace she hoped.

"AAAAAHHHH!"

Jessie stop her laugh and stepped back in panic. She let out of low groan when Raven spoke the counter spell. Buj Jessie make a defence gesture to preventing another spell.

"Unfair!" the petite girl pouted " I help you cleaned your nose. But you surprise me in return."

Jessie fake her anger but not for so long time. She smiled warmly to Raven.

"Sorry for which mistake,boy? for your run away or for your show off?"

"For your information, I spelled a charm for high grade. Jessie told him proudly "Wanna see again? "

Cleared her throat the lioness raised her wand again. But no spells be spoken. Just another laughter audible in the wooden bridge.

"Just kidding. You're lucky enough. I'm only a first year so can't use many spell." Jessie shrugged her shoulder. " Only the basic like
summoning charms, or Descendo!"

Jessie laughing and stretch out her hand towards Raven.

"Sorry,darling. Thats for left me before."

Jessie wink to her lover and smiled in apologized .

Seeing Jessie laugh and smile is a happiness for Raven, but there's a question that bothers him.. why did he left Jessie at the library? why and how?

Now Raven stare Jessie, again with a cold look.. he raise his right hand and pointing his wand out "avis" as soon he cast the spell a flock of birds coming out.. fly out through the wooden brigde and now Raven turn his body going to accross the brigde.. he walk to one of the pillar, seem didn't care if Jessie following his steps or not and start looking at the view with an empty gaze he put his elbow on the brigde abutment and his hand prop his chin..

a huge sudden change was being made..

"I'm sorry.. maybe I'm not worth for you" he gazed out the view.. didn't realized he speak almost like a whisper..

Jessie let her gaze following the boy. Her happy expression faded and being replaced with the surprise one.

She made another mistake.

"Hey... what do you mean? "
She trying to steady her voice.

"D-did you regret with your desicion? The decision you've made only a half hour ago?"

Jessie feels scared with the answer.

" I said that I want to help you, Raven. " She smiled sadly. But atleast she was smile. No. She wont cry. Or everything gonna be worse.

" Answer me, Raven. Be honest.... "

"I felt like im not worth for you.. i even left you at the library, i feel bad and unworthy to have you" Raven mourn, he's regret his stupidity

"do you really think im worth for you? I wanna make you happy and keep you smile, but just in a sec i'm able to leave you alone.. i'm afraid Jess.. of myself, i dont want to make you sad or cry" Raven look at Jessie intensely.. he caressing her hair, with a soft tone "I'm so sorry, i really sorry, i do love you" Raven touch Jessie cheek and gave her a soft kiss in the cheek.. he look at her again, with sad eyes "what should i do?"

Paul was taking a morning stroll alone. It was sort of quiet, and most students would not be out yet. He adored the students, and he loved interacting with them on a daily basis, but right now..he just sort of needed the space to think and meditate, to reflect.

The bridge was always a nice place to walk. Hands shoved in his pockets, Paul began to make his way across, whistling to himself in a calm way. A melancholy tune if he ever knew one.

He spotted a student and grabbed his wand in his pocket and slowly slid it out.

A few bubbles sprouted from the end of it...floated gently over Illa's head, and one landed right on her nose without popping. Paul...had to let out a chuckle.
